return to ease

an invitation to remember your natural state

An embodied experience of deep ease can sometimes feel far from reach—especially at this time of year, when the rhythms of nature are guiding us to soften and slow down, while the rhythms of society demand something altogether different: a degree of haste and momentum that move us further away from the wisdom of nature.

Each time we dedicate time and space in our days to settle into pockets of stillness, we open ourselves to an aspect of our being that is always at ease, unaffected by circumstance. Through practice, we fortify this connection to our natural state.

Below is a six-minute guided meditation designed to support you in returning to your natural state of ease in body and mind — get comfortable, settle into yourself, welcome a moment to heal the hurry, and notice how your day unfolds.

Finally, an invitation to join me for my annual online program this February: Beginning Softly—a new way to welcome the new year.

Love, Kate
